In the second half of the show, Greg welcomed Dr. Kristen Lyerly to talk about how expanding Medicaid isn't just a political talking point—it's actually saving lives, specifically pointing to a new study showing higher breast cancer survival rates in states that took the leap. After the heavy health talk, they pivoted to the Super Bowl, checking the pulse on the Olympics, and Greg giving his review of Bad Bunny’s halftime show. To wrap it all up, Greg shared some "Olympic-level" sleep hacks, because apparently, if we want to function like world-class athletes, we need to stop doom-scrolling and start napping like we’re chasing a gold medal.
